Title: Meerkatze! WNW Roland C11
Post by: drdave on February 09, 2015, 03:18:59 AM
Ok, I know the anemometer is on the wrong scheme. I couldn't resist it. You may notice too that I have fluffed the drag wires due to inattention. They shouldn't cross over. Fun though.

Ah, finally, a "Meerkatze"! I love it - thank you, Drdave, for sharing!
Richard
P.S:  Say, why did you do it in a light blue finish?

I had a buff in one hand and a duck egg blue I the other. The blue won. I can't see why they would paint some blue and some cream?

Whatever the colour and whatever the mistakes, that is a really terrific model. I have liked the Roland since Airfix released their 1/72 version in the mid-1960's but that is in a class of its own. Wonderful stuff.

Beautifully done Dave, the overall finish is superb with excellent weathering, this is a very stunning looking model.

Very nice! How did your fuselage fit together? Mine had a little gap in the bottom near the wing root which took some adjusting. Thanks for posting your photos

It is about having fun, isn't it? And the anemometer is like a cherry on the cake top! Lovely build, Dave!

The fit is great, but the lower wing fuselage joint needs Mr surfacer. All In all the fit was superb as usual.

Hello,

beautiful model.
I send you a photo of another plain of Lt. Carl Allmenroeder and his observer Lt. Lubarsch at the Feld-Flieger-Abteilung 18.
I got the photo from the Allmenroeder family

Best regards

Bruno

Hello Dave,

if I can be of some help, let me know.
Unfortunatly a number of wrong colour profiles circulation in the model world.

Fokker D VII, Jasta 30 with stripes. I don't know the colour, but based on my theorie, they could be red/white or yellow/white.
I will give more details on this Fokker D VII (I did not have when the book was written) as a chapter "New results of reserach - Jasta 30" in our "Royal Bavarian Jasta 23 book. The book will contain around 300 photos of Jasta 23 and 64 colour profiles.

A lot to do for modellers.

Many greetings from Germany

Bruno

I was going to use the Pheon decals. Orange wing and tail, orange nose, black and white diagonal fuselage?
